Prologue
The air around him was a crisp chill as he ran through the never ending forest, breath visible in the frigid night's air. The night was still young yet nothing stirred as he jumped from branch to branch.
"They are catching up to me quicker than I suspected, I must remember to work on my speed" Eizen jested to himself as he picked up his speed.
Eizen Kensei is a ninja from kagegakure, the village hidden amongst the shadows. The village lies in the country of Void, which is across the ocean from the countries of fire, mist, and wind, which lie on the coast of the mainland. Not many people know of the three ninja villages across from the mainland because no one has ever tempted to journey across the vicious ocean, but the three villages know of the mainland countries and have stayed out of the mainland's business so as to stay out of the never ending conflicts between the major ninja villages.
"Stop traitor!" a random shadow-nin screamed into the night.
"huh, these simple chunin think that by simply shouting at me that I will willingly turn around and face trial, well they will be quite surprised with what I have in store for them" Eizen laughed out as he then preceded to make hand signs. "Secret shadow technique: eternal abyss jutsu"
Suddenly all of the surrounding forest was enveloped in a dark fog. All that could be seen through the dark substance was the shining eyes of Eizen. Bright yellow eyes, with three triangles bordering the pupil.
"Retreat, all troops retreat, he's unleashed his shakugan!" one of the nin said before his life was suddenly cut short by a kunai to the throat.
"shut up fool" Eizen scowled "you made me this way, an avenger, that will now take the revenge I deserve, Fire style: Dragon flame jutsu!"
Then out of Eizen's mouth came white hot flames. When the flames hit the fog in which the enemy ninja were trapped in, the fog suddenly caught ablaze, and the remaining nin in the fog were now nothing but dust as the fog lifted showing naught but burnt, dead trees. The air was thick with the smell of charred wood and burnt flesh. Through what was left of the forest, but a sliver of Kagegakure could be seen.
"Damn that village, it has taken everything away from me, now I will escape to the greatest shinobi village, and hopefully be taken in, and there I will learn more jutsus and will come back one day to rid Void of this insufferable village."
And with that, Eizen left, shunning his village, to seek power in one of the strongest of all shinobi villages, Konoha.
